i'm sorry but you all (every other author in existence) have been outclassed, dostoevsky ate and left no crumbs, i believe he touched on every topic under the sun and with such insight and nuance

Soooo good. I initially had a hard time getting through this book since I wasn’t used to the writing style, but I came to enjoy it a lot! So beautifully written and I love how the characters express themselves in different ways. I cried when Raskolnikov went to see his mother the last time (I always cry in mother-child interactions). Such a great book. Shows guilt in different lenses.

I’m waffling between 3 and 4 stars. This one was truly good—enjoyable characters, an excruciating inner conflict, beautiful prose, and all the things that attract me to a novel. HOWEVER, the dialogue and the sheer quantity of babbling is a little off-putting. There isn’t enough plot to sustain this book, and on top of that, it’s just boring at times. So....3.5 Stars? Quality is great. Just boring. XD
SECOND READING:
I loved it but the ENDING was so painful and just...I get that it's really hard to do this kind of ending, but not like thiiiiiis.
(Dounia and Razumihin though I WILL GO DOWN ON THAT SHIP.)
